York, PA -

A months-old motorcycle club has teamed up with some local nonprofits to help give some families a good Christmas.

The Zero 2 One Hundred Motorcycle Club, which formed in September, teamed up with the Burdis Family Foundation and Freedom Path Ministries to raise money and have a Christmas party, said Marsha Minor, business manager for the club.

"A lot of the families won't have presents, won't be able to do it themselves," Minor said.

Both of the Spring Grove-based organizations work with women and children and try to help keep families together, she said. Some of the women might have previously been in prison or struggled with drug problems or other issues, she said.

At a party on Saturday at the Burdis Family Foundation, the women will be able to go through donations of clothes, baby products, hygiene items, and more. The club will have activities for the children such as face painting, crafts, hot chocolate and stories with Santa.

The families will receive a meal and the kids will get toys and gifts.

Minor said the club, which has a dozen members, formed recently and wanted to get involved in the community.

"We want to do a lot of charity work, help out locally in York," she said.
